Awwww damnit man. I can't make July 
I was looking forward to catching up with everybody I met last year.
Wife and I will be between Silverton and Moab the first week of October if anyone wants to meet up.

So I'm a little confused by this. So the event will actually be the 12th-17th? I read the HIH7 thread and recall you NOT being able to setup the night before for last year?
I know, I know, you said more details to come but I'm just so excited/anxious about this I just can't help check hotels and routes and flights for this daily!!

I am so excited!...it will be our first year! Count us in!

any word on when tickets are going to be available? I thought that was happening last week?
Usually early April if I’m not mistaken

We get the confusion. Trails dates will be 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th. Registration to open mid afternoon on the 12th to set camp, get packets, etc. Very, very advisable to arrive on 12th. Trails will start around 9-10am on 13th. Tear down everything on 17th.
I’ll talk to @paflytyer about adjusting dates advertised. Thx.

Working CB is required for the trails. It makes it safer and makes the day much more enjoyable with good communication. Actually pretty humorous at times.
I have a huge chip in my windshield just above my line of sight. I hate it. However.... I don't want to lose my HIH6 and HIH7 stickers so I keep it as is. The cracks haven't spread and it's a genuine Toyota windshield, so I'm not anxious to get a cheap PPG replacement.
I'm very excited to come back this year (as a legit sponsor, no less) and hope I can spend more than a single day there this year, but we'll see how it goes. Let's also hope for some clear skies to enjoy more of those views!
I still haven't put my 6 or 7 on (breaking the rules
). I can't decide where I want to start as I hope to need a lot of space for all the future ones.
I have a couple two-way FRS/GMRS radios, but no CB. Any good cheap options that are hand-held that would serve my purpose at HIH8? Eventually, I plan to get my HAM license and a beefier setup permanently installed, but I'd just want to go with the minimum required for HIH8 on CB.
This plus a magnetic antenna on the roof will be perfect...and is what I run when I need to use a CB (I prefer ham).
I use a K30 magnetic antenna and a 20 year old cobra cb I leave in the center console. I leave everything connected and slap the antenna on the roof when I need to use it.

Speaking of CB's: Anyone have a recommendation for a sleek unit with a remote display/interface? I want to do a good install finally and ditch the traditional unit I've used in previous years, but I can't seem to find any systems with a small interface to mount on the dash with the "brains" located out of sight. I'm sure they're out there, but I'm not using the right key word or something.
